[users@httpd] Building Apache 2.2.14 with mod_fastcgi 2.4.6 on OS X 10.5.8
Hi,
I'm trying to build Apache httpd 2.2.14 with mod_fastcgi 2.4.6 on OS X
10.5.8. I can build and install httpd seemingly fine but I can't seem
to build mod_fastcgi successfully with httpd even though I've tried a
variety of ways. I did try joining the fastcgi mailing list and
sending this message there. Although I received confirmation that I am
a member of that list it appears I am not. I'm hopeful someone here
will be able to help.
Looking at the mod_fastcgi INSTALL notes, I've tried the APACI
(autoconf) method. I think those notes are out-of-date and don't work
with the newest httpd. The notes talk about --activate-module which is
not a configure option for httpd. The notes also talk about a
directory <apache_dir>/src/modules which doesn't exist in the Apache
httpd source distribution.
Below is what I thought would be my best attempt
rm -rf ~/tmp ~/myapache
mkdir ~/tmp
cd ~/tmp
cp ~/Desktop/downloaded-src/httpd-2.2.14.tar.gz ~/tmp
tar xvzf httpd-2.2.14.tar.gz
cp ~/Desktop/downloaded-src/mod_fastcgi-2.4.6.tar.gz ~/tmp
tar xvzf mod_fastcgi-2.4.6.tar.gz
mv ~/tmp/mod_fastcgi-2.4.6 ~/tmp/httpd-2.2.14/modules/fastcgi
cd ~/tmp/httpd-2.2.14
./configure --prefix=${HOME}/myapache \
--enable-module=fastcgi \
--enable-mods-shared=fastcgi
make
make install
After the above is complete, I don't see any build output indicating
fastcgi was built. I also don't see mod_fastcgi.so in
~/myapache/modules.
The Apache httpd server does work. I can start it as a non-root user
listening to port 3000, stop it, view static pages and it will run
plain cgi-bin scripts.
Any ideas how I can successfully build Apache httpd with mod_fastcgi on OS X?
Thank you,
Peter

I should be more clear. There is an existing apache configuration file
that I want to use for the project that I did not write. I'd like to
be able to use that configuration file as it is because it changes
from time-to-time and maintaining my own configuration file would be
less than ideal (though possible, I suppose.) That configuration file
uses mod_fastcgi. I'd like to explore using mod_fastcgi until it seems
hopeless.
Thanks again,
Peter

Thanks for the thought. I cannot really consider anything other than
mod_fastcgi since that is what the project I'm working on is using.

Have you looked at fcgid instead?

Thanks for that confirmation. I thought that might be the case but
didn't know for sure.
I very happy that I now have mod_fastcgi working. In case the archives
of this thread are useful to anyone. I had success with the following
installation procedure. The very last two character, the extension,
"la" were what I was missing before. I was trying "so" before and had
no luck. I took a guess that "la" might worked and it seemed to.
Thanks again,
Peter

That's very, very old (i.e. last-century). Use apxs to build modules.
Alternatively, use mod_fcgid, which has been donated to the ASF
and is now maintained by the apache developers.
